The purpose of the postponement is to have a follow-up meeting with you, Joi Harden and ADT staff who are copied in this email to finalize their assessment of what roadway improvements my client can make on Zimmerman Lane given that road has 86 feet of existing right of way , which is more than what is called for under ASMP (80 feet of ROW). A meeting with you, Joi and ATD is also intended to confirm what improvements my client can make using street impact fees that will be generated from my client’s property based on the net multifamily unit yield.

June 3, 2022 Ms. Wendy Rhoades City of Austin Housing & Planning Department VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Wendy.Rhoades@austintexas.gov Re: 7400 South Congress - Zoning Application City File Number C14-2021-0193 Dear Ms. Rhoades: The South Boggy Creek Neighborhood Association (Neighborhood) supports the following requests: 7400 South Congress: Rezoning to GR-MU-CO The Neighborhood had multiple meetings with the Applicant’s representatives since July 2021 and appreciated the engagement, willingness to provide feedback and the Applicant’s offer to include Conditional Overlays to address concerns. The following are the Conditional Overlays the Applicant is proposing and we agree to: 1. Prohibit access to Blackberry Drive. 2. 125’ building setback from the west property line. 3. 65’ vegetative buffer located along the west property line from the south property line to the southern edge of the Blackberry Drive right-of-way. 4. Restrict the maximum height of the residential building closest to the west property line to four stories. We believe prohibiting access to Blackberry Drive and the 125’ building setback will maintain that level of quality of life desired by residents. In addition, the proposed drainage will be redirected east of the identified 65' vegetative buffer next to Ed Miller's eastern property line. Also, the Applicant agreed to include a fence along the west property line starting at the southern edge of Blackberry Drive to the north property line, and agreed to work with the Neighborhood on the type of fencing during the site plan stage of the City of Austin development process. Thank you for your attention to this letter.

Kristi Godden: Thank you, Mr. Scoggins. I forgot to note that I am legally blind. Part of the reason that we selected our home site was that it was in a spot at a dead end that would see less traffic for my own personal safety. Our community has a relatively large population of residents with disabilities, including a number of residents who are deaf or have deaf children. Speeding and excessive car traffic is of particular concern for those of us with disabilities who still want to have full enjoyment of our homes and neighborhood. Good morning, I understand that Travis County will be reviewing an application for a development of the Porter tract adjacent to the present Hills of Bear Creek and Bear Creek neighborhoods on FM 1626 and Johnson Lane. I am a current resident of the Hills of Bear Creek at 1628 Koala Street, Manchaca, TX 78652. I live here with my husband, Craig Godden, and our 6 year old son. We have been residents of this community since August 2018. I have several concerns regarding the development of this tract of land. First, I know that there are significant flooding concerns on that tract that may impact nearby homes, including my own. I do not know what, if any, steps Milestone has taken to address this concern. Additionally, it appears that the development will extend my street (Koala) into the new section of homes and exit out onto Johnson Lane. At present, the entire Hills of Bear Creek neighborhood must exit onto Johnson Lane from Olivers Lane. There are additional inlets from FM 1626, but those are generally not a good outlet as there is no traffic light and exit onto FM 1626 is difficult due to high speed, traffic, and the fact that the neighborhood is at a hill, making it difficult to see oncoming cars. Adding additional homes, without addressing these issues, such as providing an additional outlet to a different road, seems dangerous in the event of an emergency requiring a mass evacuation such as in the event of a brush fire in the surrounding fields. There is no traffic light at FM 1626 and Johnson, so entering and exiting the neighborhood is often already a challenge with the number of residents using that road to enter the Bear Creek and Hills of Bear Creek neighborhoods. In the event of an emergency, …
